Brief: Man robs Toot'n Totum

Posted: Tuesday, November 27, 2001

A man robbed a convenience store Monday after first asking to use the bathroom.

An Amarillo Police Department press release said a man entered the Toot'n Totum in the 3600 block of Northeast 24th Avenue around 4 a.m. He asked to use the bathroom, walked back to that area but did not go in. The man returned to the clerk, implied he had a gun and demanded money from the register.

The clerk complied and the man fled in an early 1990s gray Cadillac.

The suspect was described as a black male in his mid-40s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and heavyset. He was wearing glasses, a green T-shirt and black pants at the time of the robbery.
